hi, I am trying to compile abisuite-0.7.14 and I am stuck with the problem that has left me scratching muy head. abisuite requires that gtk-config and glib-config be present.
If I try to install libglib1.2-dev it removes libgtk-dev. The reverse happens if libglib1.2-dev installed. The output : apt-get -s install libglib1.2-dev Reading Package Lists... Building Dependency Tree... The following packages will be REMOVED: libgtk-dev The following NEW packages will be installed: libglib1.2-dev 0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

What I have done is to copy glib-config to a temporary place and install libgtk-dev. then copied glib-config to /usr/bin. that solved the problem though. I am now stuck with missing zlib. What I am asking is what is the proper way to do it rather than doing as I have done. regards harsha
